I know I wrote a while back how as a casual player the last thing I needed (and would do) is fill time with pointless tasks.. after all, I don't have spare time. No days I don't look at my quest log, ignore guild calendar and whispers, refuse to take down MH, refuse to do anything UNLESS it's pointless.... ohhh sad Gnome.... sad, sad Gnome. Ahhh well, just need the wands for Hallows End, and a few area discoveries, and solo all the lowbie instances, and catch fish, and Arrrrghhhh.... I need an authenticator that I can give to my wife so I don't play anymore... <abbr><em>Gnomeaggedons last blog post..<a href="http://gnomeaggedon.net/2008/10/23/wolk-and-eod-fire-mage-specs/" rel="nofollow">Wolk and EoD Fire Mage Specs</a></em></abbr> I am being slow roasted by Achievements.

No days I don’t look at my quest log, ignore guild calendar and whispers, refuse to take down MH, refuse to do anything UNLESS it’s pointless…. ohhh sad Gnome…. sad, sad Gnome.

Just when you think you are exempt from the pull of them, they will tack on some sort of reward for points, or a title or a flashy new mount. I was pretty much, "meh" about the halloween stuff, but then i saw the proto reward at the end of all the world events.....cripes now I have to hunt down all those masks. I to was introduced to achievments via Xbox Live. At times they are tedious, but even if no one else cares....its kindda nice to get that little visual pat on the back everytime you do something. Like Tuna pointed out, they sure eat up a lot of my regular play time lately....but I find myself going to bed thinking, well at least I got my Know Thy Enemy Achievment......ZzzzZZzzzzzz.

Maybe I've played too few other games to see the charm. I'll see how long this resistence I've got will last, but for now it feels like I'm pretty safe from the fever. I feel sorry for you… :)

Just hop on your mount and jump right off the top level and pop Ice block before you hit the ground, works every time.
